Coil packs popped out...

Simon L · Apr 11, 2007

Driving home from work today, went into boost and felt a judder so lifted off. Went into boost again and felt more juddering, felt like a misfire. Thought might be the coil packs, but no EML came on.

The car drove fine off-boost. First chance i got i pulled over and found number 1 and 4 coil packs loose and sitting out of position, freely moving around.

Pushed them back into position, and the car drives fine.

Why would this happen?

Yep, i agree, check the plugs, this is the only reason this can happen.

Bill gave me an excellent tip for the coilpacks popping out;

Its caused by the air underneath them heating up and expanding, so all you have to do is cut a little 'V' into the rubber fins to allow the air to escape. Works a treat, solves the problem instantly/permanently.

Push down coil packs just slide out over time, nothing really to hold them in. One of the reasons i went to bolt downs.

your a mother ****ing genius you are... :roflmao:

wonder how much input Seat had into developing the VW/Audi 1.8T engine...or how about developing the coilpacks???

i'm very sorry but if you dont even own one then stfu!

i'm with phil, bolt down ones are better

Simple bracket made from metal, utilising the bolt holes will work a treat too, for those not wanting to buy new coilpacks.

Do like they have in the pic and put a small V in the rubber.
The reason is the gasses get warm in the engine and exspand and push the coilpack up, this only happens after time when the coilpack is getting abit older and the rubber is'nt as good as when it was new.
There are a few people on here that do this and all have said that it works fine and haven't had any problems sins.

Didn't want an argument, but i think my attempt at humour yesterday afternoon wasn't appreciated by some and i apologise, i didn't mean any harm and i was not slating Seats as i have had them and now want another one!
